Erin Lee, mother of a child whose daughter was invited to attend her school's secret gender club, joins The Faulkner Focus with former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to discuss the issue.
A Colorado mother said her daughter was among a group of sixth-graders recruited to a deceptive after-school "art" club that turned out to be much more than it seemed.

"When she got there, she very quickly learned it was actually a gender and sexuality awareness club," Erin Lee told Fox News' Harris Faulkner on Tuesday.

"The art teacher had invited in an outside presenter into the classroom that day, and this woman did absolutely unthinkable things with the kids."

US splurges $1 billion on Russian uranium despite sanctions war

Before the escalation of the long-running Donbass crisis into a full-blown Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine last year, America's nuclear power plants depended on Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan for nearly half of their enriched uranium. Well over a year into the conflict, Washington has apparently failed to find alternatives.

The Biden administration's failed quest to sanction the Russian economy into oblivion throughout the past year has included one massive exception this whole time - with the US continuing to buy Russian-sourced enriched uranium for use in nuclear power plants like there's no tomorrow.

According to calculations by US business media, American companies purchased roughly $1 billion worth of Russian enriched uranium over the past year.

Industry experts attribute the continued buy up of the key commodity to the lack of domestic US conversion and enrichment capabilities, with Russian nuclear giant Rosatom continuing to account for about a quarter of all enriched uranium used by America's vast network of NPPs.

Comment: Despite Russia continuing to supply America with various energy supplies, US officials and experts are warning that the country's power grid could still suffer rolling blackouts this summer:

"CBS Saturday Morning" featured a segment suggesting adding insects into a diet could provide benefits for a growing world affected by climate change.

To counter meat, soybean derived proteins or other high-carbon foods, the segment described efforts by climate experts and scientists to explore farming bugs to protect the planet.

"We all know how important insects are for the environment, but climate researchers say bugs could be a game changer in the fight to protect the planet in ways you may not have imagined," host Dana Jacobson said.

A number of professional football players in France have drawn the ire of the nation's sports ministry for refusing to take part in an annual league-wide anti-homophobia campaign, French media have reported.

Over the weekend, all teams in France's Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 divisions were required to wear uniforms featuring rainbow-colored numbers on the back as part of the initiative. However, players from several clubs, including Toulouse FC's Zakaria Aboukhlal and Nantes' Mostafa Mohamed, were omitted from the roster after they refused to wear the jerseys.

Aboukhlal, who is Moroccan, wrote on social media that he "made the decision not to take part in the match" over the weekend and noted that he had "the highest regard for each individual, without judging their personal preferences, gender, religion, or background. It is a principle."

"Respect is a value that I hold in high regard. This applies to others, but also to my own beliefs. I do not think I am the right person to participate in this campaign," he wrote, asking for his decision to be respected.

Pentagon doesn't vet proxy fighters over possible rape and torture histories - NYT

American special forces have trained up foreign proxy fighters and sent them on 'kill-or-capture' missions without ascertaining whether they have histories of rape, torture, extrajudicial killings, or other human rights abuses, the New York Times reported on Sunday, citing newly disclosed Pentagon documents.

Such surrogates are paid, equipped, and deployed without any vetting required to verify that they have a clean human rights record, according to documents obtained by the NYT.

The 'gap in rules' applies to proxy forces hired to carry out counterterrorism missions, as well as allied forces who are trained under an irregular warfare program designed to help countries that are at risk of invasion by larger neighbors.

One such clandestine mission in Ukraine was allegedly terminated just before Moscow launched its military operation against Kiev's forces in February 2022, but some officials reportedly wish to restart it, according to a Washington Post report earlier this year.

Japanese protesters call for US military to be evicted

Thousands of Japanese protesters assembled near Kadena Air Base in Okinawa to protest the US occupation of the island on Saturday, on the 51st anniversary of the island returning to Japanese control.

The annual demonstration comes amid rising regional tensions as the US supplies Taiwan with weapons in what China views as open provocation.

Chanting slogans including "Give us back our peaceful life" and "Osprey get out," the latter being a reference to US military helicopters, the demonstrators demanded the closure of the US' Okinawa bases. The island's inhabitants are weary of the pollution - both chemical and aural - produced by Washington's military outposts, as well as the high number of crimes committed by American servicemembers, from petty theft and drunk driving to rape and murder.

Governor Denny Tamaki has urged the Japanese and US governments to reduce the Pentagon's footprint on the island, which hosts 70% of all US military facilities in Japan despite comprising just 1% of the country's total land area.

New York City had reportedly promised not to send migrants upstate after vehement protest from local governments...

Twenty homeless veterans were kicked out of hotels in Newburgh, New York where they had been given temporary shelter, in order to make way for illegal immigrants bused north from New York City, veterans' advocates told local media on Friday, eliciting outrage from across the political spectrum.

Sharon Toney-Finch, CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation, told Mid Hudson News on Saturday:
"Over the last week, many of our homeless veterans... were informed that they had to leave their temporary housing. The veterans were staying in several hotels that were preparing to receive migrants from New York City."
The veterans were due to stay for a month at the hotels while permanent housing was secured, only to be shown the door two weeks into their stay, according to Toney-Finch.

Local politicians were outraged at the report.

America's state media: The blackout on Biden corruption is truly 'Pulitzer-level stuff'

This week, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) tried to do the impossible. After he and his colleagues presented a labyrinth of LLC shell companies and accounts used to funnel as much as $10 million to Biden family members, Donalds tried to induce the press to show some interest in the massive corruption scandal. "For those in the press, this easy pickings & Pulitzer-level stuff right here," he pleaded.

The response was virtually immediate. Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined "Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden."

For many of us, it was otherworldly. A decade ago, when then-Vice President Joe Biden was denouncing corruption in Romania and Ukraine and promising action by the United States, massive payments were flowing to his son Hunter Biden and a variety of family members, including Biden grandchildren.

don't tread on me
Two years ago, major American cities were segregated by vaccine status. Mask mandates delineated safe and unsafe. Signs told us to be separate from each other. We couldn't even encounter each other during shopping thanks to one-way grocery aisles.

We were not allowed to visit families or even attend funerals. Weddings were out of the question. There were even travel restrictions.

And recently the Department of Health and Human Services released a report sounding the alarm about the pandemic of loneliness.

A record-low 15% of Americans view China favorably, marking a five-percentage-point, one-year decline in this rating, which Gallup has measured since 1979. China has been gradually falling in the U.S. public's esteem in recent years and is down a total of 38 points since 2018. More than eight in 10 U.S. adults have a negative opinion of China, including 45% who view it very unfavorably and 39% mostly unfavorably.


Comment: Which shows just how effective the establishment's anti-China propaganda has been.
